Cremant

Cremant Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: Brut Estate Grown Methode Champenoise Leelanau Peninsula Sparkling Wine. 'Aromatic, yeasty, nutty notes... medium bodied... with piercing fruit flavors and well balanced acidity.' Entirely estate grown in our Cremant vineyard, 100% from Vignoles grapes that are hand picked and carefully whole-cluster pressed. The juice is fermented in small oak barrels, then blended with reserve wines and fermented a second time in this bottle and aged en tirage before degorgement.

Varietal Definition
Vignole:
Commonly grown in the cooler regions of North America, this french-american hybrid used for making white dry, late-harvest and ice-wines has its origins in the Chardonnay grape. Currently very popular as a dessert wine because of its restrained fruitiness and good balance. Same as Ravat.
